About Kayyan Egypt
Kayyan Egypt is a fast-growing logistics company delivering reliable, scalable transportation solutions for FMCG and HORECA clients. As part of our expansion, we are launching a dedicated port-to-inland and inland-to-port container transportation operation, and we're looking for a strong operational leader to build and run this function.
Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced Port Transportation Operations Manager to establish, lead, and optimize domestic container transportation linked to Egyptian ports. This role is hands-on and operational by nature — ideal for someone who understands ports, trucking realities, and daily execution, not just planning on paper.
You will be responsible for building the contractor network, controlling daily movements, managing costs, and ensuring smooth coordination between ports, customers, and internal teams.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end domestic container transportation operations (port inland).
- Build, manage, and maintain a reliable network of trucking contractors and trailer drivers.
- Negotiate rates, SLAs, and contractual terms with transport suppliers.
- Plan and execute truck movements based on vessel schedules, port availability, and customer requirements.
- Monitor daily operations and resolve delays, disputes, and operational issues.
- Coordinate closely with customers, port authorities, customs-related stakeholders, and internal teams.
- Ensure full compliance with port regulations, transportation laws, and safety standards.
- Control transportation costs and drive operational efficiency and profitability.
- Define, track, and report KPIs (on-time delivery, utilization, cost per move, contractor performance).
- Support the scaling and expansion of Kayyan's port transportation services.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in logistics or transportation operations.
- Proven hands-on experience with port-related domestic transportation in Egypt.
- Existing network of trucking contractors and trailer owners (strong advantage).
- Solid understanding of Egyptian port operations and local transport regulations.
- Strong negotiation, leadership, and decision-making skills.
- Ability to work under pressure and manage multiple daily operational challenges.
- Proficiency in MS Excel and operational reporting.
- Bachelor's degree in Logistics, Business Administration, or a related field (preferred).
Why Join Kayyan?
- Lead and build a new business line from the ground up.
- High visibility role with direct impact on revenue and operations.
- Competitive compensation package.
- Fast-growing, execution-driven environment with real decision-making authority.
